Sun Storage Common Array Manager
Oracle’s Sun Storage Common Array Manager (CAM) software is a key component for the initial configuration
and operation of Sun Storage 2500-M2 Arrays hardware. It is installed on a management host cabled to the array
via out-of-band Ethernet (cables for this connection are provided). Note: In-band management is also supported.
To download and get started with CAM, review the latest Sun Storage Common Array Manager Quick Start Guide.
CAM documentation can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/disk-device-194280.html
Note – It is recommended to begin the download process now so that the software is ready for installation when
hardware installation is complete.
Before You Begin

Review Contents of the Ship Kit
FIGURE 1 shows the components of the controller tray ship kit for the Sun Storage 2540-M2 array, Sun Storage
2530-M2 array, and Sun Storage 2501-M2 array expansion tray. Note the following:
■
AC or DC power cables are included in the ship kit, depending on the configuration ordered.
■
Small form-factor pluggables (SFPs) are included only with the Sun Storage 2540-M2 array.
■
Cables for connecting the controller tray to the data host (SAS or Fibre Channel) are not included and may be
ordered separately. SAS cables for intertray cabling are included with the Sun Storage 2501-M2 array
expansion tray ship kit. Note: The maximum cable length for 6 Gb/sec SAS-2 is 10 meters.

Install the Cabinet and Rail Kit
Before installing the rail kit, install and stabilize the cabinet as described in the cabinet installation instructions.
Make sure the cabinet’s casters (if any) are locked to prevent the cabinet from rolling, and remove or open the
front panel and vented back panel. Then, follow the rail kit installation instructions found in the Installing
Adjustable Support Rails document.
Note – Each tray requires two standard mounting rack units (2U) of vertical space in the cabinet.
2
Install the Tray in the Cabinet and Connect Power Cables
The following procedure provides an overview of installing a controller tray or expansion tray into the cabinet.
Consult the Hardware Installation Guide for further details.
Note – Airflow through the tray is front-to-back. For proper ventilation, allow 30 in (76 cm) clearance in front of
the cabinet and 24 in (61 cm) clearance behind the cabinet.
Note – When installing tray hardware, load the cabinet so as not to make it top-heavy. One approach is to place
the controller tray in the middle portion of the cabinet while allowing room for expansion trays to be placed
above and below the controller tray.
FIGURE 2
Installing the Tray
Step
Task
1.
Using two people, carefully lift and rest the tray on the bottom ledge of the left and
right rails. Caution: Tray equipment can weight up to 60 lb (27 kg).
2.
Carefully slide the tray into the cabinet until the front mounting flanges on the tray
touch the vertical face of the cabinet and the rear edges of the tray fit into the clips on
the support rails.
3.
Secure the front of the tray by inserting a screw through the center hole in each front
mounting flange. (Note: Washers may be required.) Tighten the screws.
4.
Secure the rear of the tray by inserting a screw through the hole in each rear mounting
flange and into each support rail. (Note: Washers may be required.) Tighten the screws.
5.
Replace the end caps (bezels) that cover the mounting flanges on the front of the array
tray.
6.
Verify that the tray power switches and cabinet circuit breakers are turned off.
7.
Connect each tray power supply to a separate power source in the cabinet.

FIGURE 7 shows sample host connection configurations for one host in a direct topology, two hosts in a direct
topology, and two hosts in a Fibre Channel switch topology. For Fibre Channel connections (Sun Storage 2540M2 only), plug an SFP into a controller host port before cabling. For more information, see the Hardware
Installation Guide.
Note – The SAS host interface does not support a switch topology.

Connect Management Host
Connect an Ethernet cable from the management host port (Ethernet Port 1) of each controller to the LAN of the
management host. Note: Ethernet Port 2 is reserved for access by Support personnel.
Turn on Power and Install Management Host Software
To power on the array, follow the procedure in the Installation Guide. Then, install Sun Storage Common Array
Manager on the management host. If you did not previously begin the download process, see the “Sun Storage
Common Array Manager” section.
During initial array registration, you are prompted to register with the Auto Service Request (ASR) service. It is
highly recommended that you register with ASR so that Support can respond appropriately to your needs.
